8.2/10

Such a way better episode than the opener. The therapy sessions were entertaining, the family bonding moments (if you can even call them that) were fascinating to watch, and overall, this episode just had a much stronger flow. Honestly, I wish this had been the premiere instead, with Natalie’s death happening at the end of Season 2 or something. But hey, I’m not a writer.

The therapy sessions were the highlight for me—so funny and weirdly insightful. Watching Love and Joe talk about their marriage struggles while secretly referring to murder was hilarious. Obviously, they couldn’t just tell the therapist that killing people was tearing them apart, so the way they framed it as a metaphor was genius. What’s even better is that therapy actually worked—Joe finally started seeing Love for who she is, and for the first time, it felt like he genuinely loved her. After how annoying he was in Episode 1, this was such a relief.

Love’s friends are basically Beck’s friends from early Season 1, but worse. The difference is that Love actually sees through them instead of being blindly influenced. They’re so judgmental and fake, and Sherry is the worst of them all. She’s basically a less interesting Peach—just as insufferable but without any real purpose (yet).

Theo being Matthew’s son was a bit of a weird reveal. I have no idea where that storyline is headed, but with both of them knowing about Natalie’s disappearance, it’s bound to go somewhere interesting.
